SUMMARY:Beards on Ice
DESCRIPTION:Lace up your skates\, because Philadelphia’s most daring cabaret group is putting the ice in climate crisis! The Bearded Ladies are hitting a municipal ice rink near you with a remount of their internationally acclaimed ice-stravaganza Beards on Ice\, which asks the age-old question: What’s more impossible: Solving the climate crisis or teaching drag queens how to ice skate? \nDescribed by Fox News as “government waste” and by the Bearded Ladies’ Artistic Director John Jarboe as “a fracking good time\,” Beards on Ice comes in two dazzling varieties: Family Meltdown – A family-friendly afternoon romp for kids and kids-at-heart\, and Beards on Ice: Still Edging – A PG-13\, late night\, no-holds-barred cabaret with a bit more edge! The show also boasts performances at two different municipal rinks\, Taken Ice Rink in North Philadelphia (performances March 15-16) and Laura Sims Skate House in West Philadelphia (performances March 22-23). Whichever location you choose to attend\, audiences will enjoy a free skate rental and 1-hr long skating session after the performance (included in ticket donation)\, as well as hot chocolate and tabling from Philadelphia’s cutting-edge climate justice organizations\, including Physicians for Social Responsibility PA. \n​​”It feels so good to have some joy and absurdity brought into the climate change conversation\, while speaking to the seriousness of the issue\,” says Bearded Ladies Artistic Director John Jarboe. “At the end of the performance\, we want people to be more involved in the day-to-day climate justice work that’s happening in Philadelphia. It can be hard in a city landscape where everyone is dealing with a lot – how do you help people get rid of the armor they build throughout the day and listen? You show them a beautiful costume\, you sing them an amazing song\, you make them laugh while acknowledging the radical crisis that we’re in and the great opportunity we have as a species to come together.” \nJoin the Bearded Ladies in taking on the climate crisis\, one wobbly skate at a time!

SUMMARY:The Great Philadelphia Comedy Magic Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Something Magical this Way Comes! October is the month of magic in fact the last week of the month is National Magic Week and October 31 is National Magic Day. National Magic Day came about after the death of Harry Houdini who died on that day in 1926. If you are in the mood for magic\, try a unique Philly experience called\, “The Great Philadelphia Comedy Magic Walking Tour”. It is a blend of a walking history tour and a walking magic show\, complete with a seance trick in an alley called “Little Boys Court”\, where the spirits of the dead are contacted. Each historic location inspires a mind-bending magic trick. You will also meet “Mind-a-lugosi”\, a clairvoyant from 200 years ago.

SUMMARY:Public Archaeology at Newlin Grist Mill
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we dig into history with archaeological excavations at Newlin Grist Mill and learn more about the site through the evidence under our feet! \nThe public is invited to participate (or just watch) as Newlin Grist Mill’s professional archaeologist\, Keith Doms\, and a dedicated corps of archaeology volunteers seek to gain a deeper understanding of the site’s history through careful excavation using scientific techniques and thorough documentation. Depending on the day\, visitors might be invited to help screen excavated soil to look for small artifacts or assist with cleaning artifacts that have already been excavated. \nExcavations this season are planned for the Trimble farm complex in the Historic Area. The Trimble family built their house on the property adjoining the Mill in 1739 and\, over time\, built a whole complex of structures to support the operations of their household and farm. By conducting archaeological studies in the area around the Trimble House\, the Newlin Grist Mill staff hopes to learn more about the people who lived and worked there in the 18th\, 19th\, and early 20th centuries. \nScheduled 2025 Public Archaeology Days:\nMarch 15\nApril 19\nMay 17\nJune 21\nJuly 19\nOctober 18 – International Archaeology Day \n10am-3pm. Free and open to all ages (children must be accompanied by an adult). No reservations are required. If you would like to help out with the dig\, be sure to wear clothes that can get dirty and close-toed footwear. Bring work gloves if you have them; the site has a limited number of pairs to lend.

SUMMARY:Shayne Terry Presents Leave: A Postpartum Account\, with Jiordan Castle
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Philadelphia launch of Shayne Terry’s Leave: A Postpartum Account\, out now from Autofocus Books. Shayne will be in conversation with Jiordan Castle\, author of Disappearing Act. The two will discuss their books\, the craft of writing about real people\, and resisting the conventions of traditional memoir. Literary friendship will be abundant and refreshments will be served. \nAbout the book: Shayne Terry’s fourth trimester is not going as planned. Instead of bonding with her new baby\, she’s stuck on the couch with a third-degree tear\, barely able to walk. When the women in her family show up to help\, they come bearing family secrets and old wounds that also need repair. Begun as notes on Terry’s phone documenting a parental leave gone awry\, Leave examines a healing process complicated by capitalism\, intergenerational trauma\, and a healthcare system with a long history of devaluing women. This powerful postpartum account treats birth as a portal\, one that can connect us to a lineage of pain\, joy\, death\, and life. And at a time when our bodily autonomy is being stripped away\, Leave is an urgent exploration of one woman’s experience recovering from birth in America. \nA Chicago Review of Books Most Anticipated Book of 2025 \n“I want to give this to every woman I know.” — Lindsay Hunter\, author of \nShayne Terry’s work has appeared in Catapult\, Chicago Review of Books\, CRAFT\, Electric Literature\, TriQuarterly\, Vol. 1 Brooklyn\, and elsewhere.
